Tote bags for kids :)

Hi everyone :)

Most everyone that visits me knows that I taught myself how to sew -- it started when some scrappy friends taught me how to sew on my lo's .... and then moved onto Brian and the in-laws buying me a sewing machine, and then figured, I have a machine, so I wanted to see what else I could do :)

So I wanted to make Brian's little cousin and Brookie some tote bags for their coloring books for Christmas -- I watched one YouTube video on a kid's tote bag -- didn't QUITE understand how she did the lining of the bag -- so I totally winged it on my own :)

So here is what I came up with :)

Brookie's is a little bigger -- as she is now into Adult Coloring books -- and those are a little bigger than the ones her 3 year cousin uses *wink* :)

Your tote bags turned out amazing, my friend! Great job with those! I have a hard time understanding the instructions for lining, too.... as a self taught sewer everything I do seems to be trial and error. But I'd say you nailed these! Totally adorable!

Get in the photos my friends.....

"There is a reason why I'm posting these pictures. Pictures that I'm actually in. Not because I think I'm all that and a trip to Hollywood. No. It's because I'm actually tired of being worried about how I look and not taking or having very many photos of me with my children. I have very few pictures of me and my babies when they were babies, and I have myself to blame. Precious opportunities to capture on paper, lost because of my silliness. Well no more I say! One day I won't be here and there will be hardly any pictures of them and their mama. So ladies, hand over the camera and get in those photos! Please. You'll be happier you did."

Get in those photos my friends... Aleida changed my life forever.....
